By Order of the Master-General and Board of Ordnance. Pall. Mall, April 12, 1638. R. BY HAM, Secretary. His Excellency the Minister of State has issued the folio w. ing under date of the 7th ult. : " Repeated representations and protests have been made on the part of the representatives of the Courts of E; gland and France against requiring French and Fnelish subie,,rs to cen tribute to the payment of extraordinary taxes, and more esrc cially of the forestalment of two hundred millions, and the ex traordinary war contribution, supporting themselves upon the tenor of ancient treaties, to which several modern treaties refer. In consequence thereof, and keeping in view at the same time the Royal Ordinances of the 29th September and 7th of November, 1836, it has pleased her Mek‘sty, after hearing the Council of Ministers, and conformably to their advice, to suspend the exaction of the quotas assigned on the forestalment of two hundred millions, and the extraor dinary war contribution, to the aforesaid subjects of France and England established in Spain, until the Government of her Majesty has communicated with those of France and Eng land upon the true meaning and interpretation of the 9th ar tide of the treaty of commerce of 1667, and the 6th of the convention of 1750, to which articles more recent treaties have reference, and until the Cortes have been consulted on the same subject, if such shall be found necessary. This suspen sion, however, is not to take place with regard to the q uo ta which may be payable on account o f landed property belong. ing to French and English subjects, inasmuch as these quotas are charg«-s attached in the soil, and must be paid, whoever ha the owner thereof. With regard to the collection of these quotas, levied on territorial property belonging to French and English subjects, the same established regulations shall be followed as those which arc binding on the subjects of her Ma jesty, conformably to the express stipulation of the 6th article of the convention of 1750, already cited.

Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. Agents for Scotland, Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh ; for Ire land, John Cumming, Dublin Since the sentence upon this individual considerable exer tions have been used for the purpose of obtaining a mitigation of his punishment to transportation fur life. At the conclu sion of the trial Mr. Grove, the Magistrate at Worship-street Police-office, who committed the prisoner, and the She/ 4 M, iaterceded with the Learned Judge to obtain a commutation of the capital conviction, and many gentlemen, connected with the Stock Exchange, who knew the mother, who obtains respectable livelihood by selling fruit in the neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange, and who, feeling for the distressed situa tion in which she is placed, at her solicitation, signed a me morial to be presented to the Secretary of State for a further mitigation of punishment. This favourable impression has originated in the accidental discovery of several letters which were last week found in a box at Alison's mother's house, No. 8, Capel-court. About Fri day last Mrs. Alison made a communication to Mr. Grove to the effect that there was a trunk in her possession which be longed to her son, and that she wished to have an officer pre sent while it was opened. Mr. Grove dispatched Atfield, one of the officers of the establishment, to Capel-court, when he broke open the trunk and found above 30 letters, which lie took away with him and placed them in the hands of Mr. Grove. The greater part of them appear to have been written by Emma Crips previous to her being sent to the city of Coventry by her father, which was for the pur pose of keeping her from the company of Alison. She was then only about 16 years of age. The whole of the letters are expressed in the most impassioned language of affection for Alison, and she frequently alludes to a wish on her part to sa crifice life in preference to being separated for him. The fol lowing will sufficiently show her disposition in this respect :___ " I would directly put an end to my existence (now I am for bid seeing you, my dearest) were it not with the hope of being yours. I cannot think how you could pronounce that never' again, just as though you wished me to die. Perhaps you do. If that is the case, just write a few lines to me to that effect, and you will have your wish gratified in a very short time. If I am not to have you as my husband, why does not some one plunge a knife in my heart, and then there would be an end to one who causes so much unhappiness to one whom she loves dearer than her life ? If, dearest Benjamin, you do not wish to see me any more, say so to-night, for I wish to see you very much by seven, or a quarter past. If you are later than a quarter, it may be too late to see me alive. If I thought I should not see you to-night, gladly would I plunge me into a part where the water might roll over the body of Benjamin's devoted Emma. If I were to lose you, what would become of your poor Emma? Why, she would soon have the water wash over her dead body, for how is it possible for her to live without her dear beloved Benjamin ? I would now fondly plunge into the water, were it not for the thought that I had a lover that loved me with all his heart." IRELAND. (FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.)

But, nevertheless, the Powers, by their signature,z to the Treaty, became bound towards Belgium in like manner as Belgium towards them. " The Powers and Belgium consider the treaty between them, with respect to the former kingdom of the Netherlands, as complete, although the King of the Netherlands did not accede to it. In their note of the 10th of November, 1831, the Five Powers declared, among other things, That neither the spirit nor the letter of the Twenty-four Articles could admit of any alteration, and even that it was no longer within the power of the Five Powers to alter a single one of them,' " Belgium herself, also, never questioned the efficiency of tile Treaty, notwithstanding that the King of the Ne'ther.. lands had not accepted it.

In the Press, and will speedily be published, T _ HE RHINE: LEGENDS, TRADITIONS, HISTORY. FROM COLOGNE TO MAINZ. by JOSEPH SNOWE, Esq. The want of a work which should include all the " legends, traditions, and history" of that most romantic and remarkable por tion of the Rhine lying between Cologne and Mainz has been long felt by the European public. It is quite true that much has been written on these subjects, in various languages ; and that a great deal has been done towards elucidating them in several forms. In so far the subject is not a new one. Rut still it is not less true, that the wild and wondrous legends which appertain to each par ticular castle on that immortal river—the extraordinary traditions which attach themselves to almost every spot on its shores—the spirit-stirring histories connected with its cities and towns and hamlets, through the long period when it was not alone th sole highway of central Europe, but the centre of European civilisation itself, have never been gathered together as yet, nor given zn any thing like an entire form to the world. The present atteimpt is made to supply, as far as possible, that desideratum in general literature. To those who have traversed the shores of that stream, and to those who intend to travel thither, it is believed than this book that there can be no more acceptable offering. It is fondly hoped that it will again awaken in the minds of the one the dormant beauties of the glorious scenes over which they have heretofore wandered, and fix them more firmly in their memory by connecting them with the fasts of history, or the poetry of romance ; while to the others it is trusted that it will serve as a stimulant to quicken their apprehension of coming pleasure, by exciting their reason, their imagination, and their fancy. Thus recollection of the past, and anticipation of the future, will, it is presumed, be blended by it into one harmonious whole. The pains bestowed on this production, and the time employed in its completion, entitle the Author to hope for public favour. No }ling has been left undone to secure it in a legitimate manner. The whole will he complete in a series of twenty-four Monthly Parts, forming two handsome octavo volumes. Each Part will contain two sheets of Letter-press, with beautiful Wood-engra vings from Drawings by Mr. 13utler, illustrative of the Legends or the Localities. Each successive Part will also contain a double plate, forming a section of a most superior picturesque Panorama of the shores of the Rhine between the two Cities which form the termini. Part I will be published on the Ist May, Price One Shilling. Just ready, vol. Bvo. with Illustrations, AERONAUTICA, or an Account of the Balloon.

They have also di s c overe d a NEW COMPOSI TION for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally Imper vious to acids. ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been fours ; ob jectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. Messrs. 1%1 have been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW DISCO VERY, and they can tix the above without extracting the STUMPS, e r causing any incumbrance, and even n GUMS of the most tender nature, protecting the adjoining Teeth, however loose.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.--O n Tuesday an in quest was held at the Compasses, in Brick-lane, \Vhitechapel, on Samuel Josephs, an aged Jew miser, who was found dead on Monday morning. The Jury proceeded to view the body, et_inh t l: i d eve a s. d „ ogike N n o ne b l us r i a n t e l s ie s r he tl r i c a . n ” the residence r ß e r s o id th en er ce no o t f when a scene presented itself which beggars description.

Mrs. Sarah Barton, of No. 5, Mason's-court, Brick-lane, stated that about ten years ago, she let the house where he then lay dead to deceased, and ho and his sister had since lived there. He was a shoemaker. Was much deformed, and of dwarf-like appearance, but was of sound intellect as far as she knew. His sister, who lived with him, was of unsound mind, but was perfectly harmless, and it was her opinion that she had not done any mischief to the deceased, as she was most attached to him.

She then proceeded to state that for the ten years deceased and his sister lived in the house, they had not once even opened the shutters, and it was to her astonishing how they could so long exist in such filth and wretchedness. On Monday morning she was going down the court, when the sister called after her, and asked her to go to Mr. Gabriel, in Fashion-street, and tell him her brother was dead. \Witness at first did not believe it, as she had heard him speak to the sister between two and three that morning, but on looking over the shoulder of the sister, she saw deceased lying on a box, and perceived he was dead. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death." _ ......__ M.DUPIN AND LORD BROUGHAM.--In a meet ing of the Acad emy of Moral and Political Sciences, at Paris , the Presid ent of the Chamber of Deputies, M.

" First it blew —then it snew—then itiiiz—then it thew—and then it friz again." POOR LAWS—MR. O'CONNELL. This day an adjourned meeting of Mr. O'Connell's con stituents assembled to hear his opinion upon the present Poor law Bill. At three o'clock the chair was taken by Pierce Creagh, Esq. Mr. O'CONNELL said he had requested that meeting to as semble, in order that the country at large, as well as his con. situents, should understand the provisions of the Pow , law Bill, which was likely to become the law of the land if they did not endeavour to prevent it. One thing he much blamed himself for, namely, that he had not opposed the measure from the commencement. His regret was heightened by seeing that his opposition was re-echoed through the land since he had commenced to take an active part against it. He deserved blame if the measure were gocd, praise if it were injurious, for lie had opposed the Bill in all its details. The newspaper reports of the arguments used by him and others in opposi tion to the Bill were very meagre ; on one night he made thirty-six speeches against it. The Bill now contained all the provisions which were complained of in the able paper drawn up by Mr. Staunton for a former meeting. He had been told to exert his talents in Committee, and he would be able to improve the Bill : he had exerted himself for that purpose, but he had failed, and the Bill stood just in the same condition. He wished to come to the thing in detail. He had heard the Poor-lawmongers and others say they were for the principle of a Poor-law, but when he came to close quar ters with them he found that they did not know what they meant. Their Poor-law was some miraculous support for the poor, to come from they knew not where. The principle of a Poer-law was, in fact, to make one man pay out of his pro perty for the support of others, the vicious as well as the worthy. The evil of a Poor-law was that it encou raged vice. Again, the principle of a Poor-law was forcing him to give up his property to another to whom it did not belong. He was a cruel and hardened man who was not charitable ; - but the Poor-law destroyed charity. How many instances were there in England of a father deserting his son, and the son his father, on the ground that he should go to the workhouse ? Poor-laws were never introduced into any coun try that that country did not become worse than it was before. But granting that Poor-laws would be advantageous any where, they would still be injurious to Ireland. Ireland was too poor for a Poor-law. The great argument in favour of the measure, which had often been used in that room, was that the tax would come upon the absentees. He confessed that that argument had great weight with him ; but the Bill showed how vain was the expectation, for by it the large proportion of the tax falls on the occupier. The occupier in the coun ties would pay always at least one half of the rate. In cities and towns he would pay nine-tenths. What was the extent of that tax ? He used to say in that room that the number of poor. houses was limited to 100 ; but Mr. O'Mally had justly re minded him that the number was not limited. No, it was not. lie was of opinion that 400 poor-houses would not be suffi cient. The Poor-law Commissioners had reported that there were '2,300,000 paupers at one season in Ireland. Then, let but 1,000,001 of those be taken in, and it would require at least 1,000 of those poor- houses to receive them. He did not mean to say that there was no poverty. He knew that there was, and he was aware of the frightful scenes that were to be seen in the country ; but Poor-laws would not mend them. He took another view of it. In England there were 14,000,000 of inhabitants. In almost every county in England there was some sort of manufactory. The sky was dark with the smoke that issued from them. Well, note ithstanding this it required annually 5,000,000/. sterling to support their poor. In Ireland there were no manufactures ; the number of agricultural la bourers exceeded those of England, and in proportion to her population, it would require 3,000,000/. to support the poor— not less, at all events, than a million and a half of money would be sufficient. And where was that to come from ;or how was Ireland to produce it ? They h.d escaped, up to that time, the evil of a Poor-law; it seemed that that nuisance was all they were likely to get from England in the present Session. They should remember that all the property of Ireland was to be put into the hands of a single English Com missioner, who would possess more influence than ever one man did before over this country. Again, look at their igno rance of Ireland. The clergy were excluded from being gcardians. The Protestant clergy were prevented, in order to avoid the cry of bigotry that would be raised if they could be guardians, and the Catholic clergy could not. But who were put in their place ? The magistrates, who were not the natural protectors of the poor, and who were far from being qualified to be their guardians ! The produce in England was four times as much as in Ireland; yet the land in Ireland 1133 much richer, and it only wanted capital to make it pro duce equally. Yet the money was to be taken from the oc cupier, which he could expend upon his land, to increase its value and the national wealth. Upon all the Reports of the Poor-law Commissioners there was nothing plainer than the extreme readiness of the Irish to administer relief to each other. That was a fact that stared out from the evidence, and shows that we do not want an Act of Parliament to make us charitable. Why, then, were not the poor better supported ? Because the country cannot afford it ; but by the new law we would have to support them better, and in addition to erect e xpensive workhouses, and salary a whole army of officers and commissioners, who would not work for nothing : and this when it was admitted that the only reason the poor were not b) 11 1 tY, because ,hether w w e e cannotetter s a u ortfipeprdict. He d a was s he h makingad s a t n a t t e , x d p — e r s could get justice from England ; but if we were still to pay the tithe impost, while the rent roll was carried out of the country, and, in addition, the people were burthened with this Poor-law tax, he was certain the result would create a disgust against all institutions and laws of the country, which might lead to frightful excesses. Conceive the idea of locking up one million of human beings, and calling it charity ! No country had ever prospered under a Poor-law except in spite of the burthen.—( Hear, hear.) England had become rich and powerful, not in consequence of her Poor-laws, but even against them ; and if the late Amendment Act had not been carried into effect, England would, ere now, be in a blaze. The Learned Gentleman concluded by proposing the appoint ment of a Committee to rally all classes and sects in Ireland against the Poor-law Bill at present under the consideration of P irliament. Mr. STAUNTON replied at considerable length. He con tended that there had been no expression of public feeling against the Ministerial Bill. A few Grand Juries, as land lords, had opposed it, but there had boen no county meetings. Mr. O'CONNELL—Belfast and Wicklow. Mr. STAUNTON admitted there had been a Wicklow meet ing, but it was chiefly a meeting of landed proprietors. The Learned Gentleman defended the measure at great length, and urged, that if it were not complete, it was still much better than the poverty that every where existed. Mr. DICKSON followed on the same side. Mr. O'CONNELL briefly replied, and named a Committee, which was accordingly appointed. The meeting then broke up. Me. O'CONNELL.-After the recess he brings forward his motion for the emancipation of the "female apprentices," and we earnestly hope that his efforts will be supported by the pe titions of the Irish people. In her struggles for independence Ireland never has been selfish, and surely now that humanity lies bleeding, and calling for help, she should not lag behind. England is loud in the call for slavery abolition. The " English Radials" charge us with a selfish disregard of all but our own interests. Now, then, is the time, to prove the calumny unfounded. The enemy of the negro is the foe of Ireland. The Gladstones and Lefroys are brothers in oppres sion. Let it then be the great glory of this country to have stricken to the earth the chains which weigh down our fellow men through all portions of the empire.—Freeman. REGISTRIES.-It is pretty clear there is nothing now left for the people of Ireland but to continue energetically to work the Registries. We agree with Mr. O'Connell in thinking that the Corporation Bill will not be passed this Session any more !ban the Church Bill ; and whether the Por Bill may, is, as we have already said, a moot point. In short, the people Ire thrown on their own resources, and on the legitimate exercise of their own energies. We tell them distinctly they have abundance of work before them, inasmuch as the enemy is everywhere up and doing.—Dublin Evening Post TITHE CAMPAIGN OF 1838.—COUNTY OF WATERFORD The Bishops and the Incumbents are giving note of prepara tion for resisting the proposition of Ministers for settling the tithe question. On the other hand, the agitation for the total abolition of the impost is about to recommence with increased vigour. COUNTY 01? WEXFol2o.—We'have already noticed the pro ceedings against the two county Members. COUNTY LONGFOII.O.—Here the agitation has been re opened by a meeting attended by upwards of 5,000 persons, the report of which occupies several column of the Athlone Sentinel. The meeting was held in the open air on Sunday, in the town of Ballymahon, Valentine C. Dillon, Esq., pre siding. The speakers were, Messrs. Conran, of Shrule, T. G. Powell, O'Reilly, Wallace, and Rev. Messrs. Dawson, M‘Gaver, M'Cand, and M'Guire. A petition was adopted praying for the total abolition of tithes. The pressure upon our columns prevents our inserting even an abrdged report of this importaet meeting. The Master of the Mint (Mr. Labouchere) left Hamilton-place, on Monday, to pass the recess at Eumore Castle, near Taunton, the scat recently purchased by the Right Hon Gentleman from the Earl of Egmont. THE FUTURE PRINCE OF WALvs.—Although the further destruction of the Principality by its Counties nturging in England is for the present arrested by it,; title being in abeyance, an ancient custom prevails called " Mise," which will be revived with every demonstration of loyalty on the resumption of the " loss and gain." A present is majta by the Welch to every new Prince of Wales of five thousand pounds for his outfit, which was paid three times in the reign of James the First—to himself, Prince Henry, who died, and Prince Charles his sons ; so in the Palatine County of Chester, three thousand marks were paid him as Earl of that County ; of the latter thorn will be a deprivation, as the Pa , latintttos are ahent to be abolished, IMPORTANT FROM CIRCASSIA. The following letter fr om an English gentlemen 'on the ccast of Circassia is copied from the columns of a 'Morning Contemporary : " SENIEZ, M ARCH 3.—An express has this de.- y arrived here from the south, bringing intelligence of a gr',:at and decisive victory won by the Circassians at Shush'en. The Russians having suddenly appeared in the harbo:,:cr with 20 ships of war, effected a lauding without any sistance on th e part o f t h e i Circassians, and having nvited'en e latter to a conference, they t.)ld them it was their intention to erect a fort there, and re commended them to submit with a good grace. The Circassians promised them an answer irk a few days. In the meanwhile the gathering cry spread sreiftly through the adjacent country. At Vardan, Ouwyn, and Rhissa, the Koran was suspended in the usual manner, and a solemn oath was taken by every warrior that he would neva- revisit his horne' and family till they had expelled the invader from thei , .. shores. The united 'force of the Circassians, when asserabled under their loaders, Übish Hadji, Bersek Islam, and Z-efkar Bey, amounted to 7,000. The scene of action, consist.'wg of an amphitheatre of wooded hills encircling the Bay of Shushen, was most fa vourable to the operationa of the - defenders, who poured from their covert a murderous fire into the Russian ranks. Thu latter, after a futile attempt to dislodge them, fell in confu sion, and were then charged and ,routed by the Cireassi4a horse. The reserve then advanced to cover their retreat and embarkation ; but the Circassians, in the full tide of success, were not easily to be checked, and before these ohj2etee could he completed, the sea, covered with floating carcases, ap peared no less blood-st Lined than the shore. The'n events occurred about nine days ago, and have greath) encouraged the people of Natiikoitch, who will probably exert themselves more than they did the last campaign, and e . adeavour, in the reception they give to the Russians, not to 'tie outdone by the people of the south. The last day of the annual promenade of Long champs, so celebrated in the annals of Parisian fashion, was yesterday brightened by a brilliant sun, with a clear blue sky,. and consequently, the display of the beau monde in the Champs Elysees presented a scene of animation and opulence only to be rivalled in one city in the world, that city (need we name it ?) being London. The gay and well-dressed crowd be gan to congregate about 2, but it was not until near 4 that the elite of the fashionable circles made their tardy appearance in the glittering throng. At this hour th , ..0 splendour and variety of the equapages, with the elegance of the costumes sported by their fair denizens for the first ti'.nu on they day, according to the hnmutoble pandects of the. Goddess of Fashion, gave the Champs Elysees and its approaches an air of enchant ing animation and gaiety. Among the equipages were several belonging to his Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans, whose carriage stud, we are glad to - p , :reeive, is highly improved, and is now consonant with the. rank of the royal owner. Several English nobility sported carriages and horses of finished beauty, and the inner drive, reserved for the privileged, exhibited a number of four-in-hands which our friend " Nimrod" himself would have pronounced unexcep. tionable. The aristocracy of the diplomatic, legislative, and monied worlds. were duly represented by the elegant car ri'ges of the British Ambassador with his family, a majority of the Peers and Deputies, the Rothchilds. the Aguados, &e. and the number of Italian, S•panish, American, and other foreign equipages, were imnymge. The appearance of the Envoy of Abd-el-Rader and his suite in an open ealeche, dressed in their rich and striking Arabian costume, heigh tened the scene, and attracted no little attention. The eques. irians were also numerous, many being beautifully mounted ; but every picture has its dark side, and truth obliges us to state that the very sight of some of the quadrupeds which ligurnd in this portion oh the day's exhibition, would have thrown the famous Tattersall into a cold. perspiration; some of their riders, too, had evidently essayed the art of equita tion for the first time in their lives, rand looked painfully alive to the dangers of their rash experiment. Haekney-coaches, and particularly queer-looking cabriolets, were iikr..wise to be found among the carriages; and we think we saw something greatly resembling a superannuated omnibus in the line. These, however, only gave variety to the passing scene, which, we repeat, was one that, for richness, beauty. and g , :iety, has scarcely a parallel in Europe l—Galignani's Mes senger. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—It is , our painful task to relate a most afflicting event, which oc curred yesterday, and by which two of the most highly ,esteemed families in the county of Lincoln have been thrown into the direst grief. Mr. Girdlestone, jun., of Stibbington Hall, being tempted by the beauty of the day, took Mrs. and hiss Helen Wing ( to the latter of whom, a beautiful ycung: lady of nineteen, he was about to be united), in a pleasure boat on the rive,: Nene, near Wansford, having only a boy to assist him is the, nianageno nt of the boat. !is they reached that part of the stream beyond Wausford ',Launch a sudden gust of wind upset the boat on its tacl - ; , precipitating th e whole party into the water. Messrs. 'k2.ompton, Clapham, and two other gentlemen, seeing the accident from the bridge, immediately ran to the assistance of the sufferers, and on ar riving at the spot they found that Mr, Girdlestone had reached the shore. On looking around hint he could not di , cern the slightest &ipso': tr.e bodies of the lathes, and ima t6iiing there to be ender . .he boat, which had drifted down for about a hundred yards., he seized a rope, with which tie plunged into the water; be reached the boat, and tying the cord to the mast, he righted it. Not finding the bodies there, the unfortunate gentleman uttered a shriek of the most pier ing :agony, and again rea c h e d th e s h ore . By this time nearly twenty minutes had elapsed, when the body of Miss Wing momentarily rose to the surface, and was brought to shore. Mr. Clapham ran with it to the nearest hout,e, where every means were used for more than two hours to restore anima ti n, but without avail. In a few minutes aite - wards the body of Mrs. Wing was brought cut by those dragging' the river, and all efforts t. 4. save her proved equally as abortlve as those used to restore animation to the young lady. M r . Gi r dl estone, who was in a state bordering upon madness, was with difficulty, tiraE,Te•ed from the fatal spot and ceirried home to his afflicted family, and the bodies of tl:e mother and dau g ht er were con veyed in a postchaise to T horr, naugh-heuse, where the Rev. Mr. Wing was made acquainv i d w i t h his loss. . Chronicle. loss. .—.ll;ncolnshirs VIATENT PERRYIAN UNDER-SPRING PEN.
